Germinating

[Yhtown12]

It’s my first time growing cannibis.
I put the seeds in water for like 2 1/2 days it barely popped. So I ended up putting it in cups with the soil iunder the light. I did spray inside and outside the soil when I was done. I realize at the last minute the humidity was at 22% the whole time and the temperature was at 32 C
What I did to fix it I put wet towels inside so now the temperature averaging 23 C and humidity averaging 68%
Will the seeds still germinate meaning it’s gonna take a lil longer. Or it won’t be able to germinate and the roots don’t grow. I need help any ideals?

They probably drowned. Soaking isn't needed, but I do around 12-18 hours.

I haven’t soaked the seeds I did a light spray on the soil after I planted it hopefully I see some results the next couple days

Relative humidity and light are irrelevant when the seed is underground.
No need to soak the seeds........just plant them and keep the soil moist.

I haven’t soaked the seeds

I thought you said you soaked the seeds for 2-1/2 days.
Good luck and welcome to RIU.

Give it like 3 days.

 

[Billytheluther]

I soak for up to 2 days maybe 3.
The trick is to not stir the water (they will sink) and let them float the whole time so they dont drown.
Wet your soil to field capacity prior to begin germination and when you see a tail go ahead and sow the seeds.

some photos of your seeds would help

I had planted my seeds in soil 2 days ago I’m just now putting plastic over the cup so keep the temperature up. Still no sprout, how long it takes cannibis seeds to sprout?

 

[Yhtown12]

Sorry it’s been in cup for 3 days and I just sprinkle some water over them
Just trying to figure out how long it normally takes to sprout

 

[Dboybudz]

Just putting seed in soil and leave out of direct sunlight and should pop in about 4 to 5 days

 

[Yhtown12]

I hope I didn’t ruin the seeds it’s been 3 days in the cup I just put it outside ima leave it out there for couple days

I did have them in water for 3 days it popped a lil then that’s when I put them in a cup so yeah it’s been 3 days in the cup so far

1. Soak in water for 12 hours, put in seed starting soil, water sparingly leave for 3-5 days.

2. Rinse a paper towel with water squeeze out and repeat 3 times, resoak the towel and let the excess drip off 1 drop ever 2 seconds no more it should not be soaking, put the beans in that, then a baggie, then in a dark box. Check in 3 days, pull out seeds that have a tail at least 1/4 to 1/2 inch, if you don't some reason they like to die after the transfer. Hold the seedling in place and gently cover with dirt and let the water move the rest of the soil around the seedling.

You need to make sure your water is in a good ph and ppm range for all of this 6.2-6.6, and 50-100ppm is a good range. You dont need any nutes for 2 weeks unless you are using pure coco.

Yeah if pre soaking it in a glass or whatever I wouldn't go over 24 hours as others say wet paper towels or straight into the dirt those two are solid enough

I've used several methods.
Soak then plant.
Just plant.
Paper towel method.
And the method I use now, float tech. put the seeds in water ph'd to the proper value. They should float on top. Don't disturb them let them float. In a couple of days a tail should sprout. Plant them tail down with the seed almost showing. In a couple of days you should have a sprout. This has been the best method I've tried.
